V-fit STG Viper Home Multi Gym with Leg Press 150lb

Product Information

The leg press is a very popular exercise. But does that justify paying a lot of money to be able to do it at home? Well, if it was popular for no reason, no you shouldn’t pay for a single exercise. But in my opinion the popularity is justified. The Body-Solid PVLP156X is a vertical leg press machine, which means that it won’t eat up too much space in your home gym. The unit only measures 46 x 48 x 60 inches and weighs 93 pounds, so you can easily add it to any home gym, even if you live in a small apartment. When you’re seating improperly due to having a fixed seat pad, for example, you’ll most probably end up affecting certain muscles without originally intending to. Plus, the overall experience of a fixed seat pad is usually far from comfortable. It’s worth noting that the padding of the leg station features foam rollers, which will make your leg days far less daunting.

Leg press stations are usually attached to a specific space in the multi-gym, which is usually determined by the manufacturer. However, sometimes it’ll fit in place but feel uncomfortable, which is never a good thing to have. On the contrary, separate machines can be put anywhere you want, but this will come at the cost of more floor space than an ordinary multi-gym. How Much Weight Do I Need in My Home Gym with Leg Press? On a side note, it is important that you take your time assembling the machine to make sure it is set up correctly. If not, the equipment may feel somewhat unstable during workouts. Pros Couple that with the compact dimensions and space-saving design, and you’ve got yourself a home gym that can fit in any small space. Comfortable With a Smith machine, functional trainer, jammer arms, leg press, bench, leg extension, and a variety of full attachments, you can do it all. This versatile design caters to people of all fitness levels, so you can get a great workout no matter where you're starting from. Additionally, the majority of leg press add-ons nowadays come with at least 300 pounds of resistance, which is frankly more than enough for most people. VerdictUnfortunately, weight shrouds are usually only found on more costly models, so if you’re on a budget, you’ll probably miss the chance of having one. Weight Capacity As for the size, this machine is relatively compact and lightweight, so you won’t find it hard to integrate into any home gym. Talk about convenience! Commercial-Grade Performance Next, consider the Type of Multi Gym. Do you prefer a Pulley Multi Gym that often comes self-contained, a Leverage Multi Gym that simulates free weight exercises, or an All-in-One Trainer which combines various machines into one unit?

A nice feature on this machine is that the chest press and flies function independently. This is an advantage for those keen on super-setting these exercises. While pulley multi gyms tend to have everything you need, other types might require extras such as additional weight plates for leverage gyms and all in one trainers. All the steel frames are cleaned, treated, and painted with a durable powder coat finish—all of that to say that this unit will last for a lifetime. This is the gist of a multi-gym; it’s a single multi-functional machine that’ll provide you with a workout for every part of your body. The Viper is a deluxe home use gym and this can be seen in multiple areas such as the depth of padding in the seats, the overall build quality and the structural strength reflecting in both design and construction along with an excellent paint finish.

The Benefits of Multi Gyms

The leg press offers a 2:1 ratio for increased resistance, which can reach 320 pounds if you get the 50-pound upgrade. Smart move, huh? More space efficient: Because the leg press station uses parts of the multi gym, there is less material necessary. Also, they are designed so they fit next to each other perfectly where separate machines might need more space around them.

Usually cheaper: As an add-on, the leg press station is usually quite a bit cheaper than getting a separate leg press. If you budget can stretch for an upgraded unit, investing a bit more now can save future headaches.Additionally, multi-gyms can be quite useful whether you’re looking to lose weight or gain it (building muscle). I honestly can’t remember the last time a multi-gym failed to meet my needs, no matter how specific they can be. However, you have to keep in mind that a multi-station isn’t a magical machine, so you’ll most likely need to do some cardio on the side, for example. Time-Saver While the leg extension provides decent resistance, its range of motion is limited. This is, however, a common issue with budget multi gyms.
